Operations

Pointfinder

This is a great help for outdoor
measuring. The integrated point­finder (viewscreen) shows the
target on the display. The device
measures in the middle of the
cross hair, even if the laser dot is
not visible.
Parallax errors occur when the
pointfinder camera is used on
close targets, with the effect that
the laser appears displaced in
the crosshair. In this case rely on
the real laser dot. When using
the point to point functions and
smart area measurement the
error is automaticallycorrected

with a shift of the crosshair.
The pointfinder is always on,
when the laser beam is on.
